Expect to pay anywhere from $100 to $300.
* Lower end ($100-$150): This usually involves a basic radiator flush using a flushing solution and water, along with a coolant refill. It may not include a thorough inspection of the cooling system.
* Higher end ($200-$300+): This might include a more thorough inspection of the entire cooling system (hoses, thermostat, water pump, etc.), replacement of any damaged components, and potentially a more advanced flush technique. This may also involve using specialized equipment for a more effective flush.
To get an accurate price, it's best to contact several local mechanics or dealerships and ask for quotes, specifying that you need a radiator flush for your 1999 Chevy Silverado. Be sure to inquire about what's included in their service. You might even save money by doing some of the simpler parts of the job yourself, like draining the coolant, provided you're comfortable working with automotive fluids.
